Best Public Schools in Goochland, VA

Summary:

The Goochland, Virginia school district consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a tale of two school systems, with Goochland High School and Goochland Middle School consistently outperforming the state averages in most subject areas, while the two elementary schools show more disparate results.

Goochland High School and Goochland Middle School stand out as the top performers, with high test scores, strong rankings, and relatively low percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients. In contrast, Byrd Elementary lags behind the other elementary school, Goochland Elementary, in several subjects, including Mathematics and Science.

The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, as the schools with higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as Byrd Elementary, tend to have lower test scores and rankings. This disparity within the same Goochland County Public Schools district warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors contributing to the differences in performance and identify strategies to support the weaker-performing schools.
